“The Ninth circuit court of appeals has just rejected Coach Joe Kennedy’s request” to have a silent prayer on the field. Coaches will no longer be able to pray in public, according to the Ninth circuit court of appeals. “This is deeply disappointing to us,” Dys said. “If they close their eyes too long” and someone thinks they’re praying, is that unconstitutional according to this verdict.

“He will say or do anything to prop up James Clapper as a brand…attempt to be in with the cool kids..to put forth a narrative,” Shaffer said of Clapper’s calling Trump “unfit” on CNN. “He’s supposed to bring quote unquote credibility to the narrative. He’s a trainwreck of a man, and yet, somehow the mainstream media finds credibility in him,” Shaffer said. He will compromise integrity to forward a political narrative. James Clapper “is a poster child for the deep state.”
